I certainly welcome that the HSE is fully supportive of these plans. They have been talked about for a long time. It is important now they are advanced through the system in relation to the cost-benefit analysis and the planning applications, which are outside the control of circumstances or whatever. It is absolutely vital that there is equality across the country and, through the work of the HSE and consultants, we increase the survival rates of all types of cancer and provide better education. Certainly, no part of the country should be left behind, just as no demographic should be left behind either.

What best practice has the HSE learned from other countries in respect of what they are doing better than we are doing at the moment?
